Problems using Ableton and Traktor on same audio interface / MacBook

[astromech]

I've been struggling to get Ableton Live (and Push) working with Traktor on my 2015 MBP. I have four decks outputting via Audio 10 and the fifth stereo channel for Ableton. The problem is the audio starts to stutter heavily and I get massive latency from the application that isn't in focus (IE not an active window) after a minute or so. Am I wrong in assuming this should all be fine? Is there some sort of CPU piority that needs to be set for both to work hen not in focus?

Are you using .mp3's in Ableton?

Are you using .mp3's in Ableton?

It's whatever is built in to the Live packs. AIFF, it looks like?

Traktor used MP3s though. Both applications crap out when not in focus. I know this should be possible because it's exactly how Hawtin has his setup!

I can confirm this doesn't seem to happen when running Traktor on the Audio 10 and Ableton on built-in sound.

There are often problems when you have apps "sharing" a sound card.

If it works using the internal AI, I'd just keep using it...

[astromech]

I have an Audio 8 as well, so might use that.

Definitely worth a try.

Hawtin also uses an RME FireFace UFX which has an extra routing layer called TotalMix, between this and the exceptional driver support that RME products have its going to work better than the core audio class compliant TA10.

I'd probably stick with using 2 soundcards for the moment.
